The Proof of the Axiom
1. She circles inside the proof of the axiom
The axiom is self-evident Is it true
2. Is a wavelength blue Is a wave a wave
She performs a gesture with her hand
3. If she hit rock she could build a house
If she built a house she could look out of the window
4. O, no! There’s an axiom inside the proof of the axiom
and another and another
5. She cannot tell the net from the knot
fact from effect All, as Parmenides says, is one
6. She walks in woe from lodgment to lodgment
trying to make an analytic judgment
La Fille des Sourds
The hearing daughter of the deaf
dreams aloud in Sign
In French she is la fille des sourds
She has a Dedekind Cut
She says: /t/ /k/ /p/ mutter babble
Her first words are not in her Muttersprache
She walks cries mutter
mutter mutter
The mother is crushed by the sides of her bed
Why It is because they are so many
the dead
